On this morning's show we're playing an interview with anti-fascist scholar Dr Anastasia Kanjere on the links between fascism & the broader political realities in the settler-colony, & the affective tools fascists use to make themselves victims & obfuscate their violence @4zzzradio.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing how these models incorporate different degrees of mass extinction for states to consider, along with biodiversity reduction reduction and taxidermy technology.

Biodiversity policy needs to look forward, not just backward. 🌍
Our new PNAS piece argues that predictive models - like those used in climate science - are key to guiding effective conservation decisions.

I love trip hop - I love the name and every shade of its sound and its respect for soul. The Sade offshoot Sweetback deserves a mention too.
‘Music dug up from under the earth’: how trip-hop never stopped
Fused from jungle, rave and soul, trip-hop filled the coffee tables of the 90s, and is now inspiring Billie Eilish’s generation. So why is the term so despised by many?

With everyone finding their research grants cancelled, funding drying up, will neoliberal administrators give up their pseudoscientific delusion that grant win is scientific achievement?

No! The meal is cooked when you enter the store! Even if you stop at maccas on the way home.

I’d heard so much praise for this book and finally found time to read it. It’s a fascinating read that pushes us to reconsider the Eurocentric nature of Marxist accounts of production that often erase the history of medieval slavery.

I'm excited to be at The University of Copenhagen's Center for Applied Ecological Thinking on the 21st!

I'll be talking about how the Trump regime manipulates the language of famous climate scientists to advance their fossil-fascist agenda.

If you're around, come out!

Is there really a rise in left-wing political violence in America?
Charlie Kirk's assassination. The United Healthcare CEO's murder. Several recent high-profile killings seem to have political motivations. What’s driving this — and what can we do about it?

A state that won’t address its own law and order issues humanely and fairly is a failed state. Deportation talk is a fascist paradigm.

by Anthony Burke

Deportation is one of the surest indicators of fascism. No less true when centrist parties do it.

It’s like opening the door to hell then making a cuppa as you sit down to watch.

Flailing Tory leader Kemi Badenoch’s latest “idea” is a Trumpian immigration hit squad, vowing to deport 150,000 a year. There’s no credible plan for where the deported people would go, how treaties would be upheld, or how overstretched institutions would cope.

Read about why we’re doing climate policy wrong (too focused on measuring emissions) & what we should do instead (focus on $$ to constrain fossil asset owners & expand green asset owners). Just in time for #COP30.

Now, millions of Clinically Vulnerable people are being told we don’t qualify for a Covid vaccine - even as new variants spread.

This is a dangerous, preventable mistake.

There are some people whom the media has decided are "leading intellectuals", regardless of the views of their academic colleagues. Invariably they are people who justify - or at the very least do not challenge - economic power. Steven Pinker is a stand-out example.

"Rainforest that has been regenerating for 30 years after being used as cattle pasture showed a remarkable increase in butterfly colour diversity."

It turns out rewilding even has the power to restore the colours human activities are draining from the natural world.

The insects’ brilliant hues evolved in lush ecosystems to help them survive. Now they are becoming more muted to adapt to degraded landscapes – and they are not the only things dulling down

On this week’s cover of The Lancet, a new letter: “Gaza’s healthocide: medical societies must not stay silent”.

Read the letter and more in our latest issue: tinyurl.com/5n85x448
Cover of The Lancet's Oct 4, 2025 issue. Cover quote reads: "Most medical and surgical societies worldwide have remained silent or issued vague statements about Gaza's healthocide [...] Staying silent while pretending to be neutral is, in effect, a form of complicity."
